scope:

This Marshall Work Instruction (MWI) establishes instructions for maintaining an inventory of hazardous materials, i.e., chemicals used/stored onsite. This MWI also establishes a requirement for all employees, Government and contractor, to order chemicals through the Marshall Retail Store. Government employees shall purchase chemicals through the Marshall Retail Store. Contractors are strongly encouraged to do so. This allows the Center to maintain a more accurate chemical inventory, maintain a safer work environment, and may reduce or eliminate the need for employees to manually update their annual chemical inventories.

APPLICABILITY. This MWI applies to Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) employees and contractors who use or store hazardous materials (i.e., chemicals) onsite and/or maintain a chemical inventory. Construction of Facilities, Facilities Work Requests, and credit card construction are excluded from the hazardous material approval cycle defined in Section 6.2.
